get cash and national honours, but no houses after
they made history in United Arab Emirates on
Friday.
The country's U-17 team clinched a record fourth
World Cup on Friday to become the most successful
team in the world at this level.
The Eaglets also set a new goals record for a single
tournament, while Kelechi Iheanacho and Dele
Alampasu were picked as the Most Valuable Player
and best goalkeeper of the tournament,
respectively.
A top government source told MTNFootball.com:
"They will get cash and national honours, but no
houses.
"A precedence was set when the Eagles also did not
get houses when they won the AFCON earlier this
year. Instead, they were given plots of land on the
outskirts of Abuja."
Players and officials received cash, national
honours and houses in an estate in Abuja when they
won the same competition six years ago.
President Goodluck Jonathan will host the team on
Sunday night in Abuja.
The Eaglets arrived the country on Saturday.
